On the recordOctober 9, 1997
That is serious. But on a transportation note, as the chairman and I have been discussing, it is vital that we complete this project. We are now $18 rac{1}{2} million short of completion of rehabilitation and restoration of the federally owned road. Mr. Speaker, I would ask the chairman, he knows my concern, the concern I have had that we have not been able to fund this over the last 3 years. We are now coming to the end of the funding stream. If we do not get the balance, this project will be in abeyance. I would like to ask, if the chairman could, to give me his comments on that, so we could determine where we are.
